Pookkaalam

The first time I watched the movie, after about 20 minutes I couldn't continue watching it. It felt like a rush. So many characters being introduced, so many lame jokes. The movie is shot and edited in a unique way. I'm not sure whether I like it or not. There are so many beautiful shots in this movie - like where they move the bed of the lead character, but at the same time some shots look like its from an advert.

I decided to give it a second chance because of amazing reviews from other people. The second part is where everything happens and story gets interesting. The story is very relevant in this day and age. There are still some unnecessary scenes in second half too, but much better. The make-up artist deserves a National Award or something. Even in close up scenes the makeup looked so perfect. Vijayarakhavan's and Leela's performances were commendable.

There's emotional reciprocity involved with giving compliments. Seeing someone else happy, especially when you were the one who made them happy, in turn makes you happy. It's one of the simplest ways to boost someone else's mood as well as your own. Compliments really are one of the easiest two-way streets available to spread happiness around you and increase your own. The more you compliment, the better you feel. We know it can feel awkward sometimes to dish out a compliment-and to receive one-but the more practice you get, the more natural it will feel Here are a hundred ready-made compliments to try out for yourself. Such compliments can work.

Pookalam is a beautifully crafted movie. It takes the audience with its flow through its beautiful script , outstanding performance of the cast and a good morale story line which is carefully treaded. The movie takes you through a ride of emotions and absorbs you into their family. Kudos to all the actors their performance was top notch. The performance given by vijayaraghavn and KPAC Leela was outstanding and i am sure they will get the Highest honours. Enchanting and heartwarming feel-good movie that beautifully captures the essence of bonds, emotions, and happiness. Overall, "Pookkaalam" is an absolute gem of a movie that will warm your heart, make you laugh, and leave you with a renewed sense of optimism. It is a must-watch for anyone in need of an uplifting and emotionally rewarding cinematic experience.

This movie was a comfort movie, the acting was great on most of the part. The 2 main characters the grandma and the grandpa did really good. The story and the aesthetic was beautiful, and made viewers feel at home. I could only give this film a 7 because it was average with the way the dialogues were written. Especially for the granddaughter who made every scene cringe with the way she spoke and acted. Maybe she would have done better if she had better lines, but other than that actors like Arun Kurian did a great job. I only wished there would be more back story to what happened and how some of the characters ended up the way they did. Overall this movie was calm but just long on other parts while still being funny occasionally. I could say you could watch it once and not get bored of it.

Feel good factor movie. Award winning performances by Vijayaraghavan, KPAC Leela. Super performance by Basil and Vineeth.

Ganesh Raj made life a celebration movie, though serious life realities are handled wonderfully. Laughed a lot with so many humerous situations and sat glued until the end with turn of events which are knitted well.

Humer, excitement, suspense, realities and handling such a story of 90+ is not common in infian cinemas. But Ganesh gave full justice to the story line, ditection and beautiful photography. One of the rare such movies ever watched.

Hats off to the Team Pookkalam!
